“Godzilla” was one-half of a terrific summer action movie. Once big G finally arises from the ocean and starts laying the smack-down on his equally huge bat-like foes, “Godzilla” is as fun and entertaining a film as we saw all this season.

DVD review

What does the government have planned for im-proving infrastructure throughout Westfield? Public
Works Director Ken Alexander informed the City Council where
the city is with respect to utility sale pro-ceeds at its Sept. 8 meeting.
To stretch the dollars as far as possible, Alexander is preparing larger projects and looking at alternative funding.
“There are many municipalities looking for money,” he said. “They (INDOT) look for the best proj-ects to support … We use design to leverage ourselves to go after grants.”
Alexander said it is important the city have “shovel-ready designs” because projects are scored better by INDOT.
“More collateral to go towards a project scores us bet-ter,” he said. “There are very few municipalities that have cash on hand to do the projects we’re looking at doing.”
Alexander said depending on the grant, a project is scored on a variety of items including how it affects
safety or transportation. “It does make a difference what the commitment
from a municipality is,” he said, adding that available funds and plans give projects better odds. “We have
design work done ahead so they can see what our designs and thoughts are.”
Because INDOT has changed how funds are allocated in one-year increments, “shovel-ready” projects stand to gain further financing.
“Dollars not used in that year are lost,” he said. “When someone fails, a 75 to 80 percent funded project goes to 100 percent.”
Alexander said one example of that occur-ring in Westfield was Oak Ridge Road and 161st
Street.“Originally it was 80/20, due to our efforts it moved
to 100 percent (non-local funding),” he said.Alexander said the city presented three roadway proj-
ects to the state during its annual hearing. He said the city plans to hear the results in October or November.
“Bridge 32, 186th Street and Spring Mill Road and Oak Ridge Road and Greyhound Pass were the three projects we selected,” he said. “I do everything I can to make sure Westfield is front and center in their mind.”

Local romance author Linda Morris has released her sixth novel, Nice Work If You
Can Get It, published by Swoon Romance. The contemporary romantic comedy follows the
adventures of Ally Arietta, a woman who has sacrificed her own life to care for her ailing grandmother. When her grand-mother dies, Ally is determined to put herself first for a change. She celebrates her newfound freedom with a vacation in paradise: Mexico’s Playa del Carmen. A relationship is the last thing on her mind.
But when she encounters workaholic divorced CEO Andrew Sheffield on vaca-tion, their chemistry leaves her wonder-ing if maybe she might make room in her life for a man after all.
Nice Work If You Can Get It is available for the Kindle at www.amazon.com and for the Nook at www.barnesandnoble.com.
Morris has published romances in a variety of genres, from historical and suspense to contemporary romance. She has a novella, Just a Touch, coming from Samhain in December and has recently signed a two-book deal with Berkley Pub-lishing for baseball-themed contemporary romances.

Main Street Productions had a successful 14th season at Westfield Playhouse, but two shows
stood out above the others – “Art of Murder” and “Diary of Anne Frank.”
The results of the votes from MSP members on their favorite performances were announced at the fifth annual Westies Awards on Sept. 7 at the Westfield Playhouse, 1836 Ind. 32 West.
“The quality of our shows is so improved,” said co-emcee Bobbi Van Howe. “Because of the qual-ity we had everywhere; every single category was very, very close.”
“You are all winners. It’s just that some of you have to make room on your shelf,” said Jan Mc-Gill, MSP member.
Many of the individual awards went to “Art of Murder” cast members. Monica Reinking won Best Actress and Syd Loomis received Best Actor for their roles. Jan Jamison took home the Westie for Best Director.
“Syd’s just a wonderful actor. I just really, re-ally enjoy having him. He does a wonderful job,” Jamison said.
Thom Johnson’s reaction was of shock when his name was called for Best Supporting Actor in “Art of Murder.”
“I certainly am surprised. I didn’t expect this,” he said. “You’re (other nominees) all winners and certainly deserving as well.”
While she was in “Art of Murder,” Addison Ahrendts won her Best Supporting Actress for the Brent Wooldridge-directed “Agnes of God.”

“This show truly was my baby,” she said. “It was the best performance I ever had on stage. I love this theater, it’s my home.
“The Diary of Anne Frank” won Best Production and Best Ensemble and Maggie Williams won Best Child Actor in her role as Anne Frank.
“I’ve never done anything at Westfield before this summer. It was nice to be welcomed by ev-eryone,” Williams said while accepting the award.
Kristen Wilson, who made her directing debut in “The Diary of Anne Frank,” said the show was a labor of love for her and the cast.
“I’m so blessed with this experience. It was just an amazing collaborative effort from every-one,” she said. “We were pleased to bring it to life.”

On Sept. 6, Westfield residents had the chance to meet those responsible for the well-being of the community at the annual Westfield Safety Festival at Village Park Plaza. The event included live demonstra-tions, vehicles on display, vendors, prizes and numer-ous fire fighters and police officers. St. Franciscan provided an area for children’s activities and wellness and safety-related topics. “This is a fun opportunity for families to get a better understanding of what we do and how we do things in a non-emergency situa-tion,” said Garry Harling, WFD division chief.

He retired from Performance Feeders in Westfield after 25 years of service. He enjoyed flea markets and a good bargain. He also enjoyed NASCAR and collected sports cards. Survivors include his companion since 1963, Janice E. Ste-vens; children, Robert E. Stevens, Shari (Bill) Hall, Gary Stevens, Ron (DeeDee) Stevens and Don (Michelle) Stevens; 11 grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren. Private funeral services will be held.

OBITUArY
Stevens
Meet your teacher, Darlene BellNumber of years teaching: 26 years (10 years preschool/16 years
elementary)Background/schooling: Mayville High School, N.Y.; bachelor’s in
elementary education, Ohio Northern University; and masters in educa-tion, Indiana University, Ft. Wayne.
Why did you become a teacher? My seventh-grade teacher made learning engaging for me through many hands-on projects. I changed from a struggling student to an achieving student. This motivated me to become a teacher and pass on to others the love of learning.
What goals do you have for your students? My overall goal is for my kindergarten children to love coming to school and to gain confidence in themselves as they grow socially and academically. I know I have achieved this when I see them smiling as they go to their first-grade classroom!
What do you encourage parents to do at home to help their children strengthen partic-ular skills? I suggest that my parents make learn-ing fun at home by using a variety of multi-sensory materials. Examples include salt trays, highlighters, scented markers, and play dough. Early bedtimes and limiting video games are a plus too!
What is your favorite movie? “Fiddler on the Roof” and “The Wiz-ard of Oz” are two of my favorite movies.
Who is your favorite musician or band? I really enjoy Carrie Underwood.
What’s something your students might not know about you? I was on my high school’s first girls swim team. We did not win many meets, but we were the pathway to future high school girls sports.

To celebrate a year of successes, economic growth and community impact, the Westfield
Chamber of Commerce is honoring the work of busi-nesses and citizens that
make the city a special place to live and work. This year’s Lantern Awards recipients include:
Community Organization of the Year (Globe Award) Student ImpactStudent Impact of Westfield will celebrate its 15th anniversary on
Sept. 17. The organization was started in 1999 by Dan Ventling, and Danyele Easterhaus became the executive director in June 2011.
“A door-to-door survey was conducted in 1999 to determine what Westfield’s No. 1 need was. Ninety-eight percent of the persons surveyed answered, ‘Something to do for our youth,’” Easterhaus said.
Easterhaus said the organization is not a club, youth group or associated with any church.
“People don’t join or have to come every week. It’s just a place
where a student can come,” she said. “Our motto is safe and consistent. It’s always the same people there and same things going on.”
The independent 501c3 offers programming support after school for students in fifth through 12th grade. Intermediate students meet Wednesdays at the school and older students meet twice a week at 536 N. Union St. Easterhaus said Student Impact provides a pancake breakfast every Wednesday morning for high school students with a time for devotion and discuss-ing social issues. In addition to the after-school programming,
Student Impact has recreational sports leagues for basketball, volleyball and dodgeball.
Easterhaus was in attendance with Jon Hogge, director of programming and sports, and three students in the organization when they were announced as winners.
“In my mind I had thought, ‘It would be really cool to be up for that one day,’” she said. “I just start clapping and looked over at Jon and he looked at me and realized that was us … We worked for years with the city and community. Having this recognition means they’ve seen our kids.”
New Westfield Business Spark Award Grand Junction Brewing Co.
Things have been brewing in downtown Westfield for a while, but it literally began to boil earlier this spring when Grand Junction Brewing Co. opened. Co-owners Jon P. Knight of Westfield and Charlie Wood of Fishers renovated 110 S. Union St. from the former Keltie’s restaurant into the city’s first brewery.
“Things are going very well,” Knight said.The naming of Grand Junction Brewing is a nod to Westfield’s history and future.
Knight said the railroad-themed name is derived from the city’s connection point of the Monon and Midland railroads and the rich Quaker history of establishing Westfield.
“We’re ecstatic to get the recognition from the chamber. It provides us with valida-tion that the 16 months of planning that went into this has been a success,” Knight said. “We wanted to be at the forefront of the rebirth and revitalization of downtown Westfield.”
Grand Junction Brewing has seven barrels that hold 31 gallons each or 217 gallons combined. Wood said approximately 1,700 pints can be held in one tank. Knight said the pub offers eight beers on taps and after the five foundations that leaves three guest taps which are rotated amongst local breweries. Grand Junction Brewing also offers growlers for takeout.
As the brewery looks to the future, Knight said it will begin distribution to being served in other bars and restaurants in 30 to 60 days. The public also will be able to purchase 5-gallon and 15.5-gallon kegs of Grand Junction Brewing beer.
Business of the Year (Lantern Award) Henke Development Group, LLCHenke Development Group has become synonymous with major
construction taking place in Westfield with Grand Park Sports Complex, Grand Park Village and its newest residential and golf-course commu-nity, The Club at Chatham Hills.
The family owned business was formed in 2008 by Steve Henke and his daughter, Betsy Garfield, and was later joined by son Brad Henke upon his graduation from Indiana University in 2010.
“For us, we are really excited and proud to be selected,” Garfield said. “Henke Development Group has had a long-standing history working in and around the Westfield area and has developed a true passion for helping this community grow.”
Henke Development Group is a full service, boutique real estate de-velopment, investment and advisory firm. The business recently finished its four-year project of Grand Park and this fall will being construction on Grand Park Village. Garfield said the lake, which is being made, will be the anchor.
“We starting to hear from retail, hotels and restaurants,” Garfield said. “People are really starting to take notice of Grand Park and Westfield.”
“Henke Development recognizes the unique partnerships that are formed in the private and public sectors, across numerous businesses, between community organizations, individuals, schools, parks and all residents of this great city which form a community that values its past and strives to create a visionary future,” Garfield said.

Yet, is the alternative of an all-too-engaged service provider preferred? Do we hope to learn the family history of the person taking us to the airport? I tend to pick peace and quiet. He has a job to do and it does not include entertaining me. And, I value a moment to collect my thoughts and prepare for the next meeting. But what are we missing if we fail to connect with others who find their ways, by happenstance or intention, into our lives? What can we learn and what does it matter?
If it is impossible to know what lies ahead, then it is equally impossible to prospectively assign value to those we encounter. It is a long and winding road that carries us through life; and it beyond human capacity to determine who might be our guide, or driver, along the way.

Most times, the taxi driver simply ignores his patrons after the short negotiation of place and rate. Too often, once in the car the passenger can expect the driver to take a phone call and shout in some nearly indecipherable foreign tongue, confident in the expectation that the folks in the back seat are both incapable of understanding him and unworthy of his respect. We endure the rudeness, pay the fare and exit the cab never again to interact with this name-less being in whom we’d just entrusted our lives.
Perhaps we’d glanced at the face on the license and amused ourselves by attempting to match the name with a country of origin. But is the failure to connect an expected, if not desired, part of the transaction? Have taxis, with thick glass and a rear-facing credit card machine, sim-ply become a mobile ATM? Do we approach, run a card, get our desired outcome and still manage to avoid all human interaction?

Water weighs slightly more than eight pounds per gallon. Ice is hard and pointy. As the ice-bucket challenges in support of ALS continue, an interesting insurance point emerges. Current contributor Karl Ahlrichs of Gregory & Appel Insurance reminds us that li-ability insurance may not cover the ice-bucket dropee (if that’s the proper term) if there are damages and medical bills as a result of the fundraising stunt. It all started innocently enough, with small buckets and big laughs for a good cause. Millions of dollars have been raised, and the take is well more than any annual ALS campaign before it. Still, the “one-upmanship” took over, and the bucket became larger, colder, and potentially more dangerous. Front-end loaders, 100-gallon barrels, airplane drops, etc., all were in the mix. Ahlrichs tells us liability insurance is intended to protect you from unknowingly causing harm, and as a will-ing participant you may be declined coverage by your insurance carrier when a claim is filed against you. There have been multiple hos-pitalizations and even more “fail videos” that are evidence that the trend of “bigger, colder and more spectacular” may not end as hoped. Our advice? Participate if you wish, but keep it small, manageable and safe. Or, remember, you always are free to donate to the charity of your choice at any time - with or without ice water. We did it that way. Much drier and far more comfortable that way.

Movies in the Park, “Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2,” will be screened at 7:35 p.m. Sept. 26 in Asa Bales Park. Please use the north entrance, 205 W. Hoover St. It’s 95 minutes of perfect family entertainment, and we urge you to take it in if you’re not otherwise encum-bered. Parking at Westfield High School is free.

Need a break from mom duties
The follies which a man most regrets in life are those which he didn’t commit
when he had the opportunity.– Helen Rowland
B E l I E v E I T !Our nation has all sorts of arcane, nonsensi-cal laws on the books. Each week, we’ll share one with you. In North Carolina a bill has been passed that restricts local planning agencies’ ability to use climate change science to pre-dict sea-level rise.

Commentary by Danielle Wilson
Sometimes I just don’t want to be needed. Maybe it’s this particular week or maybe it’s that I’m still adjusting to the school routine,
but I am literally about to shiv the next person who asks for breakfast, a back rub, help with
homework, or anything that involves me and/or my superhuman, Jane-of-all-trades capabili-ties. Sometimes I just don’t want to be a mom!
A large part of this feeling, akin to a juiced lemon that’s not trashed because its rind is a key ingredient in the icing, is the nature of being an educator. Teaching high school math means I’m basically a surrogate parent to 180 of our future leaders. It’s taxing to say the least, especially on tests days when 123 of them realize they have no idea what I’ve been talking about for the last week and they all decide to take advantage of the fact that I am available for help at seven a.m. I’m a good enough actress to proceed with patience, but on the inside, I’m questioning the world’s chance of survival when this lot’s in charge. (Kidding! You’re all brilliant!)
So after a day of helping everyone else’s teenagers, I then go home to my own four who’ve been left to their own devices for at least an hour or so. My oldest daughter wants me to listen as she talks stream-of-con-science-like about her day and her emotions and the latest drama. My youngest wants help with spelling and laundry and checking her anole (lizard) for signs of life. My oldest just wants me to take him driving so he can prac-tice his questionable round-about skills while listening to his music and then hopefully con-vince me to buy him Subway. And my middle son sits so quietly while he plays games on his phone that working-mom guilt compels me to invent tasks with which to help him. Argh!
But I don’t really want to do any of these things. I want to go up to my room, close the door, and eat my oatmeal crème pie while veg-ging out on the latest Drunk History episode. I don’t want to plan dinner or run to the grocery or pick anyone up from [enter your sport here] practice. And I sure as shoot don’t want to play the good wife to my husband, who can often be needier than the kids! “Will you please rub my feet/grab my dry cleaning/watch Top Gear with me?” No!
But of course I do. Because that’s what it means to be a spouse, mother, and/or teacher. We answer the call even when we don’t want to. And on that note, I shall leave you. Some-one needs me! Peace out.

Needing another coatCommentary by Dick Wolfsie
My wife and I try as often as possible to en-gage in snappy repartee, often peppering each
other with questions like these:Are we better off with stocks or
bonds?Should we take social security now, or wait?Do we care if this bread is gluten-free?Actually, those are the kinds of questions my
wife might ask me. Here are the most common questions I ask Mary Ellen:
Do you know where my coat is?Did you hang up my coat up last night?Was I wearing a coat last night?Nippy temps are around the corner, but this
year I plan to face the winter chill without any substantial outerwear whenever possible. It’s not that I’m particularly hardy; I’m simply tired of looking for my coat.
I’m going to explain my problem, but you have to read this carefully, or you’ll be lost - like my coat usually is. I never liked wearing winter coats, especially in the car. I don’t want to be all bundled up and feel like the Pillsbury Dough Boy at the wheel. I get too warm when the car heats up, but I can’t undo my buttons or unzip because of the seat belts. Then when I exit the car, I’m soon in a warm place like a movie theater or Lucas Oil Stadium and have to immediately take off my heavy jacket and stuff it under my seat, which is a great way to add mustard stains and

sticky pieces of popcorn to my apparel. I think it’s even crazier for my wife to wear a
coat. In the winter, she asks me to warm up the car before we leave the house. Then she asks me to drop her off in front of the restaurant. Then she asks me to pick her up at door. We drive home in a heated car and get out in our heated garage. Why does she need a coat? By the way, this doesn’t apply when Mary Ellen walks the dog or goes out to shovel snow. The reason it doesn’t apply is that she doesn’t do those two things.
For many years, this was a typical phone con-versation on any given morning:
“Hello, I was at your restaurant last night and I may have left my brown winter coat there. Could you please check to see if you have it?
“Let me see. We have a pair of reading glass-es, an iPhone, and two credit cards. Yes, here’s a brown coat. Didn’t you realize you forgot it, once you got outside and it was bitter cold?”
“Have you been talking to my wife? I’ll get the coat tomorrow. I would come by now, but it’s raining.”
“Don’t you have an umbrella? It’s been pouring non-stop all week?”
“I left it at the Lucas Oil Stadium yesterday.”

Noblesville Square retailers and Noblesville Main Street are offering a sweet shopping ex-
perience during the second Chocolate Trail event.
The event will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Sept. 18. An after-party will be held from 8 to 9 p.m. in Urban Park, the al-ley next to the visitor’s center.
“All shops will have dis-counts and sales and choco-late, of course,” said Shannon Loomis, owner of Kiln Cre-ations and event chairwoman. “Everybody is going to have a little sampling.”
Loomis said “The Chocolate Trail” is modeled after the highly successful Diva Night in March. The event is free and open to the public.
“We were really pleased with it last year and the turnout,” she said.
Loomis said last year’s inaugural Chocolate Trail had a greater cross section of participants than expected.
“To me, the more the merrier,” she said. “I feel like it is a very good opportunity for a date night, family outing or a girls’ night where Diva Night is geared toward groups of women. This is more
diverse.”The 14 participating businesses include: A
Corner Cottage, At Home With Us, Cindy Goyer Photography, Courtney’s Kitchen, Jiana Gifts and Tea, Karisma, Kiln Creations, Linden Tree, Logan Village Mall, Old Picket Fence, Sweet Home Cup-cakes, The Hamilton Restaurant, The Wild and Whimzy.
NMS will host the after-party with Chad Mills providing music. Thursday Market vendors will feature chocolate inspired products. Like Diva Night, guests will receive a brochure and map of
participating businesses. After collecting stamps from all the vendors, guest can enter to win door prizes or the $350 grand prize.
“Each merchant donates a $10 door prize or gift certificate and $25 for the grand prize,” Loomis said. “It really adds up when you get so many entrants.”
Prizes will be given away at 8:30 p.m. and you must be in attendance to win. Winners must be 18 or older.

The Scoop: In 1946, Don Hall was a young Fort Wayne man with a background in the meat business and a dream for a drive-in restaurant. His dream became a reality that Thanksgiving when he opened the first Hall’s establishment and what would later become one of the most unique restaurant groups in the country. As each new restaurant opened with its own flair and personality, key connecting principles remained: quality, service and value. The Castleton Grill is one such establishment. Type of Food: This Indiana-owned family grill offers traditional fare. Less than 550 calorie and gluten-free menus are available upon request. Average Price: Entrees are $12 to $22 with sandwiches $8 to $12. Food Recommendation: Try the BBQ ribs served with pit beans and onion rings. Or
the fresh fish prepared from four different styles: wood-grilled, nutty, green fresh or takaoka.Reservations: NoHours: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.Phone: 577-2340Address: 6010 E. 82nd St., IndianapolisWebsite: www.donhalls.com

Gee’s music fest set for Sept. 20
MUSIC
By Mark Ambrogi • mark@youarecurrent.com
Jon E. Gee has been fortunate to work enough to work with several top performers,
John Mellencamp, Ted Nugent and Rare Earth.
To help give back, Gee, who owns Jon E. Gee’s Music Room, runs Jon E. Gee’s Autumn Music Fest, which will be held for the second time on Sept. 20 at the parking lot of his business, 13295 Illinois St., Carmel. The festival supports Jon E. Gee’s Gift of Music Foundation.
Sondra Gunnell, Jon’s wife and also known as Mrs. Gee, said helping support school music programs, which have faced cutbacks in recent years, is the main focus of the foundation.
“We also support other music charities as well as we give scholarship monies to students of all ages to get music lessons,” Gunnell said. “Those are the primary things we do with the Gift of Music.”
The Music Fest features 10 groups or acts. All are students or proteges of Gee.
“Each one of these acts want to be at the next level and we are basically helping them get there,” Gunnell said. “Three of them have their own CDs that John E. Gee has helped them pro-duce, promote and advise on in some fashion or shape.”
The Music Fest will begin at 2 p.m. and con-clude at 10 p.m.
The four headliners are Aaron Creek, Infa-mous, J.J. Browning Project and Awake The Wilde.
“Jon E. has shown them all how to perform on the big stage, sharing his expertise,” Gunnell said.
There will be food trucks, arts and crafts vendors and a silent auction. The auction in-cludes signed electric guitars from Mellencamp and Nugent.
“There will be no alcohol, it’s a family friendly event,” Gunnell said. “People can bring lawn chairs and blankets.”
General admission tickets are free but dona-tions are accepted. VIP donation tickets are available on the website, www.jonegeesmusi-croom.com
Ten acts will perform at music fest. (Submitted photo)

The Ten Commandments of tailgatingTailgating by Joe Drozda and Bob Bley
(Here are the last five of the Ten Commandments.)VI. Thou shall not drink (alcohol) too muchOur website (Tailgatershandbook.com) has
a section displaying how much you can drink and stay legal to drive. That blood alcohol count below .08 doesn’t always guarantee that you will be a good host or companion when you drink more than you should. Remember, no matter what you have heard, nobody likes a drunk!
VII. Thou shall continually upgrade your gear
It’s your duty to search for that item which will improve your tailgate party. This item or items can be anything that will make tailgating easier, faster, safer, warmer, prettier, less ex-pensive etc. Review last year’s tailgating experi-ences and list the things that weren’t just right. Chances are that somebody has experienced your same problem and has invented or discov-ered an improvement.
VIII. Thou shall prepare for emergenciesLike a Boy Scout/Girl Scout – be prepared.
There are many tailgate parties where emergen-cies arise. Have a first aid kit in case some-body gets cut or burned. Other more common emergencies are for dilemmas like no propane with which to cook, or no corkscrew to open the wine, or even no matches to light a fire. It is wise to carry a tackle box that has a bevy of things like duct tape, bungee cords, corkscrew, all-in-one pliers tool with all the attachments of a Swiss Army knife, packets of salt and pepper, a bottle opener, a can opener, and as many other items that you can think up.
IX. Thou shall practice food safetyEcoli and Salmonella are dangerous and
should be avoided by practicing good food safety. Remember to keep hot things hot and cold things cold.
X. Thou shall tailgate after the game (or wait for the traffic to clear)
After a game is no time to join the bumper-to-bumper traffic for a grueling drive home.
Just a 30 minute to one hour short rest in the tailgate lot will allow even the most congested lots to clear and the highway traffic to resume normal speeds. When you pack up to go into the game, always think about your postage tailgate. Leave enough chairs and easy-to-serve foods accessible so that they can be easily set up and enjoyed before the trek home. Our surveys have found that the average tailgater in America drives 71 miles one way to the game. So why not kick back, have a snack and visit?
Here’s another warm weather menu item that everyone loves.
BLT Pasta SaladIngredients: 14 oz. bag Pasta, 5 large toma-
toes, finely chopped, 1 large green pepper, finely chopped, 1 lb. bacon (+ some), crumbled (pre-cooked works great), 3/4 cup real or light mayon-naise, 1 t. salt (or to taste)
Directions: Cook pasta in gently boiling water for approximately 6 minutes, until tender but firm. Drain and rinse with cold water. For tailgat-ing, make pasta the night before. Toss cooked pasta lightly with olive oil, and store all veggies separately. Add veggies and bacon just before serving to maintain crispness. Serves 6-8.

My Fair Lady: ‘The perfect musical’
THEATrEDININg
NIgHT & DAY
By Julie Osborne and Debbie Robertson news@currentinwestfield.com
At Ocean Prime, it begins with its motto, “The answer is ‘Yes’, now what’s your question?” The
staff takes the word service seri-ously starting in the kitchen with Executive Chef Shawn O’Brien.
O’Brien believes in leading by example, working side by side with his team, even doing the dirty work and often being the last to leave after a 12-hour shift.
O’Brien’s love for food and cooking began as a child helping his mother and grandmother prepare potluck dishes for church pitch-ins. His future career as an executive chef was nearly hijacked by an accounting degree, however, his desire to prepare food outweighed his desire to prepare balance sheets. Soon after his enrollment at Pennsylvania Culinary Institute, he began working at Mitchell’s Fish Market in Pittsburgh and later in the Cameron Mitchell family of restaurants in Co-lumbus, Phoenix, and Orlando before being named executive chef of Ocean Prime Indianapolis with its opening in June 2012.
Chef’s Tip: “Fresh and from scratch” is what O’Brien believes is key to the best outcome. There’s no substitute for utilizing the highest quality ingredients which is why, along with everything being made in-house, he insists on farm-fresh products and USDA Prime cuts. “We not only fly our seafood in daily but it’s the ‘top

of the catch’ so it’s the freshest of the day,” O’Brien said.
Chef’s Recommendations: Lobster Bisque served with a sweet corn fritter along with the Ahi Tuna Tartare to start. For the main course, either the Filet Mignon or Alaska Halibut prepared with lobster, gnocchi, spring peas and lemon jus. “You can cut our tenderloins with a fork. There’s no need for a knife,” O’Brien said. Top it off with 10 Layer Carrot Cake with cream cheese icing and pineapple syrup.

Actors Theatre of Indiana is gearing up for their upcoming production of
My Fair Lady. The show kicks off the ATI’s 10th anniversary season of Broadway In Your
Backyard . Cynthia Collins, Co-
founder and Assistant Artis-tic Director of Actors Theatre of Indiana, plays the role of “Mrs. Pearce” and “Mrs. Eynsford-Hill.”
“It’s possibly, in my opinion, the perfect musical,” Collins said.
My Fair Lady tells the story Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl taking lessons from phoneticist Henry Higgins in order to appear sophisticated. Based on George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, My Fair Lady originally premiered in 1956 on Broadway.
Actors Theatre of Indiana is performing the show with a minimal cast of 10 actors, rather than the 30 to 40 typically attributed to large musicals like My Fair Lady. Director Richard J Roberts said this will put the show right into the audience’s lap.
“It’s a very intimate production,” Roberts said. “It’s the Hamlet of musicals.”
The Sept. 21 performance will feature a Talk-
back immediately following moderated by Indy Star writer Michael Anthony Adams, featuring director, Richard J Roberts, the cast and actress and author Patricia Wilson. Wilson has previ-ously acted in the Tony Award-winning Fiorello!, Take Me Along with Gene Kelly and A League of Their Own.
Although Wilson is not involved in the produc-tion of My Fair Lady, she will be answer-
ing questions about the world of theatre, including her 2009 book “Yesterday’s Mashed Potatoes: The Fabulous Life
of a Happy Has-Been.”Roberts has experience
conducting theatre talk-backs for a number of years
and enjoys the opportunity to showcase how a production like
his comes together.“Even Broadway shows are starting to do
them,” Roberts said. “I think people are curious. People want to know how things are done. All kinds of shows on TV show how things are made. It’s fascinating. People think the arts are a foreign, distant world. We’re just people doing stuff.”
My Fair Lady runs Sept. 17 through 21 and next week from Sept. 24-28. For more informa-tion and tickets, visit actorstheatreofindiana.org or call 843.3800.

“When I’m retired, I won’t really have to invest anymore.”
Many people see retirement as an end instead of a beginning – a finish line for a career. In reality,
retirement can be the start of a new and promis-ing phase of life that could last a few decades. If you stop investing entirely, you can risk losing purchasing power; even moderate inflation can devalue the dollars you’ve saved.
“My taxes will be lower when I retire.” You may earn less, and that could put you
in a lower tax bracket. On the other hand, you may end up waving goodbye to some of the deductions and exemptions you enjoyed while working, and if you did a good job on saving the IRS may require you to take more out of your retirement accounts starting at age 70.5, thus
increasing your taxable income. So while your earned income may decrease, you may end up losing a comparatively larger percentage of it to taxes after you retire.“I started saving too late, I have no hope of
retiring – I’ll have to work until I’m 85.” If your nest egg is less than six figures, work-
ing longer may be the best thing you can do. You will have X fewer years of retirement to plan for, so you can keep earning a salary, and your savings can compound longer. Don’t lose hope: remember that you can make larger, catch-up contributions to IRAs after 50.

Shapiro’s Delicatessen will open a restaurant in The Fashion Mall at Keystone in mid-Novem-
ber. The new location joins the flagship restau-rant in downtown India-
napolis, 808 S. Meridian St., and the Indianapolis International Airport restaurant near gate B15.
“The new restaurant will have a selection of the specialties that Shapiro’s Delicatessen is famous for plus a new menu, Twisted Traditions, which will include several updated sandwiches and dishes that we have developed with our own special twist,” stated Brian Shapiro, presi-dent of Max Shapiro, Inc.
Shapiro said the location is creating a casual
restaurant to meet a growing demand for fresh food prepared with local ingredients.
“The high level of daytime traffic through the Simon Fashion Mall at Keystone was a big factor in determining where we would open our new restaurant. We anticipate a great demand for catering and delivery given our proximity to the large number of office buildings and businesses,” he stated.
The new Shapiro’s restaurant will be adjacent to Tesla Motors in the Fashion Café.
Shapiro’s Delicatessen first opened its doors in 1905 as a grocery store selling kosher deli meats cooked on-premises before growing into a restaurant and delicatessen in the mid-1930s. For more information, visit www.shapiros.com.

CerealThis year, cereal sales are down seven percent, with Kellogg’s cereal sales down 10 percent. One Wall Street Journal report noted this could be because consumers are more apt nowadays to turn to yogurt or fast food in the morning, and they’re less likely to have time to eat breakfast at home at all, not even if it’s a simple bowl of cereal.
SodaThe crash of soda. diet soda in particular, has been years in the making, with con-sumers increasingly turning to energy drinks, flavored water and other beverag-es instead of the old carbonated caffeine drink of choice. The latest Wall Street report from Coca-Cola showed that the soda giant missed estimates, partly be-cause sales of Diet Coke in North America
fell in the “mid-single digits.”Gum
Likely due to heightened competition from mints and candies, chewing gum sales have dipped 11 percent over the past four years, the Associated

Press reported. The editorial board of the News Tribune of Tacoma, Wash., for one, weighed in that it is wonderful that gum sales are down in the gutter, sniffing, “Gum-chewing doesn’t do us any favors, making us look like cows chewing our cud. For humans, that’s not a good look.”
CupcakesWell, it looks like many of us at least have stopped buying the pricey “gourmet” variety of cupcakes. That’s the con-clusion to be drawn with the collapse of Crumbs, the 65-store chain that shut down abruptly in early July. The news was widely interpreted as a sign that the gourmet cupcake trend is officially dead.
Chef BoyardeeConAgra recently issued a warning to Wall Street that its consumer food volume experienced a seven percent decline, and that it faced “continued profit challenges” due to some of its flagging, tired products, in particular, Chef Boyardee, the 86-year-old canned pasta brand.

Carrington Mortgage Services, LLC, a mortgage origination and servicing company, will expand
its operations in Central Indiana and create up to 360 new high-wage jobs by 2019. The business will move into
the longtime vacant former home of Verizon Wireless, 19845 U.S. 31 North.
The Santa Ana, Calif.-headquartered company, which is a subsidiary of Carrington Holding Co., LLC, will invest $3.17 million to renovate the 77,000 square-foot facility in Westfield. The planned facility, which will be operational by the end of this year, will provide growth opportuni-ties for the company’s origination and servicing departments.
“Indiana’s cost competitive business environ-ment and the strength of the Central Indiana workforce made Westfield an ideal location for Carrington to continue to grow,” John Alkire, executive vice president of Carrington Mortgage, stated. “We look forward to expanding our foot-print in Indiana, and contributing to the local econ-omy while extending our services and exceptional home financing products to our clients.”
On Sept. 8, the Westfield City Council took the first steps to creating an economic revitalization area that will eventually lead to a five-year per-sonal property tax abatement on IT equipment for Carrington Mortgage.
“This particular site has sitting vacant for as
Verizon building no longer vacantlong as I can remember. If there was ever a good use for an economic revitalization area, this has to got to be it,” Councilor Steve Hoover said.
The revitalization area is the first of three steps in the process. Mayor Andy Cook said Carrington Mortgage will use one-third of the building.
“(Verizon) is all we’ve ever known it as,” Cook said.
Cook said the announcement “speaks a lot of that momentum” the city has garnered recently with Grand Park and other developments.
“Westfield continues to be a great place to live, work and play and expansions like this not only provide economic opportunities for our city, but job opportunities for our citizens. We look forward to the continued growth of Carrington Mortgage Services here in the years to come,” he said.
The Indiana Economic Development Corpora-tion offered Carrington Mortgage Services up to $3.65 million in conditional tax credits based on the company’s job-creation plans. These incen-tives are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives.
Carrington Mortgage Services employs more than 1,000 associates across the nation, includ-ing more than 180 employees in Indiana. The company is currently hiring customer service representatives, servicing specialists, sales and marketing professionals, and underwriters in Westfield.

Estate planning is a powerful tool that en-ables you to direct exactly how your assets will
be handled upon your death or disability. A well-crafted estate plan, including a living will and
trust will ensure you and your family avoid the difficulties of a court-appointed guardianship or conservatorship, court-administered probate or an unpleasant estate tax surprise.
Unfortunately, many individuals fall victim to these estate planning myths:
Myth: I don’t need an estate plan because I’m not wealthy.
Fact: Estate planning is not only for the wealthy. It provides many benefits regardless of your income or assets. A good estate plan in-cludes provisions for caring for a minor or disabled child, ensuring a comfortable standard of living for a surviving spouse, providing for pets or transfer-ring ownership of property or business interests.Myth: I’m too young to create an estate plan.
Fact: Accidents happen. None of us knows precisely when we will die or if we will become incapacitated. Even if you do not have substan-tial assets or a family to support, you should have a power of attorney and health care direc-tive. These documents can ensure that you are provided for in the manner that you desire. Myth: I don’t need a living trust if I have a will.
Fact: A properly drafted trust contains provi-

sions addressing what happens to your property if you become incapacitated. A will only becomes effective upon your death, and outlines who will receive your property when you pass. If you own property, or have more than $100,000 in assets, both a will and a living trust are generally recommended.
Myth: With a living trust, the surviving spouse does not need to take action after a
spouse’s death.Fact: Failure to adhere to the proper legal
formalities following a death could result in significant administrative and tax implications. While a properly drafted and funded living trust will avoid probate, there are still many tasks that have to be performed such as filing documents, sending notices and transferring assets.
Myth: Keeping property out of probate saves money on federal estate taxes.
Fact: Probate and probate avoidance are gov-erned by state law and address how property passes upon your death. In other words, avoiding probate has nothing to do with federal estate taxes, which are set forth in the Internal Revenue Code. An estate plan can reduce estate taxes, but that is not related to trying to avoid probate.

If you are like me, you have started spending the weekends at your kid’s sporting events. Our
9-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter are both playing soc-cer through S.P.O.R.T.S here in
Fishers and opening day was one of the hottest days we have had all summer.
As team parent for my daughter’s 1st grade soc-cer team I helped organize snacks for our team. As I did this I started to think about all of the snacks my kids have received after their games. In past years I have seen doughnuts, cookies, chips, candy and other high sugar snacks given out after games. These types of foods are okay sometimes but refueling our kids after a long game is not the place. Obviously I am all for kids participating in sports but the types of food we feed them before and after are important.
So what is a good nutritional snack prior to that soccer or football game? Give your kids something with carbohydrates 1-2 hours before their sporting event. Try cereals, yogurts, whole wheat crackers or pretzels. If your child needs something mid game, fruit will help rehydrate them as well as give them some much needed energy. For those post-game snacks, aim for something that provides protein along with
carbohydrates to restore their energy supply and get them ready for whatever comes next in their day. Some ideas for good refueling snacks are fruit, cheese sticks, trail mix, or whole wheat crackers with peanut butter. For something different like sweet potato chips or healthier granola bars, try visiting Good Earth at Hamilton Town Center for some healthier options. As a parent of children with food allergies, you want to always check with other team parents to make sure that you are providing something all the kids can eat safely.
One last thing, the best rehydrating drink for kids playing a 60 minute or less sport is water. Milk or even chocolate milk make a great post game drink too. If it is extremely hot and your child’s game goes longer than 60 minutes then a sports drink like Gatorade can replenish depleted electrolytes. No matter what sport your kids are playing this fall, give them snacks and drinks that will help maintain their energy and keep them going even after that long hot game in the sun is over.

To snack or not to snack - Nuts are some of the best sources for healthy fats and proteins. Eat a handful about 30 minutes before a meal and it will curb your appetite and help avoid the unhealthy snacks and the drive-thru.

Hamilton County employees will see a change in their healthcare coverage at the start of 2015.
Hamilton County Com-missioner Steve Dill-inger announced the
change during a joint meeting with the Hamilton County Council on Sept. 5. The transition to Anthem will begin Jan. 1.
“Anthem agreed to take us, not in their basic Anthem program, but in their master corporate program that (Eli) Lilly and everyone else is under. There is a huge difference between their two programs,” Dilliger said. “Their president made the exception to allow us into the corporate program.”
There were several factors that Dillinger cited for the necessity to change providers but the biggest was the lack of coverage at local hos-pitals including Methodist, IU Health and Riley. Dillinger said he talked with other executives including the presidents of UMR and IU Health about the situation.
“At the time we had 56 people from Hamilton County in our program at IU alone so it was go-ing to put our people in a terrible, terrible situa-tion,” Dillinger said. “A change at midyear would have been very difficult.”
Dillinger said an eventual agreement was made – retroactively so patients did not lose out on money – but the UMR coverage still caused Ham-ilton County a lot of problems. Dillinger said the county has had several issues with claims and getting pre-approved surgeries on a timely basis.
“I’ve had numerous calls where a surgery was supposed to happen tomorrow and UMR hadn’t approved the surgery yet so we had to push some buttons to make that happen,” he said.
Dillinger said he and the county insurance committee met several times with UMR presi-dent Jay Anliker warning him that this had to
change “to pretty much no avail.” Dillinger said in past years the county’s claims ratios have been pretty low but in the past six months it has in-creased including one heart transplant.
“Quite honestly, our employees are getting older, our families are getting older,” he said, adding the county felt it needed to do something to offset the impending financial increase. “In addition to seeing a pretty good increase from our claims ratio our subject trends was like 9 per-cent and it was going to go up even if our claims had not done anything.”
Dillinger said the county receives a 32-38 percent discount that UMR negotiated with different vendors. However, when looking at the 2015 budget, Dillinger said the county would likely see an increase of more than $2 million because of its trends and experiences.
“Anthem has committed to us, because they have a lot more muscle than UMR, somewhere between 46 and 48 percent,” he said. “Because of switching over to Anthem and getting those larger discounts that has decreased to less than $1 million.”
Dillinger also said IU employees told him An-them’s claims service was “10 times better than UMR” and should cause fewer burdens on patients.
“Hopefully we’ll have as little a disruption as we can. Anytime you move providers it is a chal-lenge,” he said, adding the county will return to the express prescriptions program
“The net savings is more than $170,000 just in prescriptions.”
In addition to the provider change, Dillinger said employee premiums will remain constant for 2015.
“We talked about that and we decided not to increase employees’ contributions this year be-cause of all the confusion of the switchover,” he said. “It will really enhance our program because on the reinsurance where we had to bid and be reimbursed once we went over our $250,000, Anthem pays it upfront. We don’t have to pay it.”

Strolling along the wide sidewalks of Avenue Champs-Élysées, visitors to Paris can enjoy
the architectural charms of a city that seems to have avoided the sterile high rises of other major
cities. Paris has not avoided those buildings, but instead has consigned them to a unique area anchored by a precisely located arch.
The Champs-Élysées follows the “Historic Axis” or “Triumphal Way,” an imaginary line passing through the Louvre¸ the Place de la Concorde and the Arc de Triomphe. After World War II, Parisian city planners decided to try to preserve the traditional appearance along the Historic Axis by encouraging new construction in La Défense, a five square mile area several kilo-meters northwest of the Arc de Triomphe. When the Tour Montparnasse, a 59-story skyscraper now deemed the second ugliest building in the world, was completed in the Left Bank area in 1973, Parisians were so incensed they passed a law requiring that buildings taller than seven stories be limited to La Défense, named for a statue honoring French soldiers.
Restricting tall buildings to La Défense did not solve the problem to the satisfaction of all
The Parisian Arch of ProgressThe Grande Arche de la Defense in Paris (Photo by Don Knebel)
Parisians. The incongruous collection of glass and steel buildings could still be seen from atop the Arc de Triomphe. The solution involved building a massive Grand Arche at the center of La Défense, positioned on the Historic Axis and connoting continuity with Parisian history. The Grande Arche was also situated on the imagi-nary axis that runs through the Eiffel Tower from the infamous Tour Montparnasse. The Grande Arche, which is actually an office building, is 361 feet tall, 348 feet wide and 364 deep and includes an opening said to be large enough to accommodate Notre Dame Cathedral.
La Défense, once home to small restaurants and artists’ studios, has become one of the most important business centers in the world. More than 70 modern buildings, up to 50 stories high, house 1500 corporate headquarters, including those of 15 of the world’s 50 largest companies. Each year, about eight million tourists come to La Défense. The 60 million other visitors to Paris can pretend it doesn’t exist.

Commentary by Jordan Fischer
I was recently tasked with giving an impromp-tu lesson on pronouns, and I thought that you,
my dear readers, should enjoy the benefits of my grammatical ranting.
The topic of the day: Reflexive pronouns; or, how to talk about yourself.
Myself is a reflexive pronoun. Along with other reflexive pronouns like himself, herself, our-selves and yourself, myself is used to refer back to a previous word in the sentence. In the case of myself, it’s the word I.
Reflexive pronouns are most commonly seen in two cases: when the subject and object are the same person or thing (including objects of prepositional phrases), and as intensive pronouns.
How about some examples for the good of the order, then? Consider this: “John and myself went to the movies.” Incorrect! But why? It’s incorrect because the reflexive pronoun has
nothing to refer to. The correct word to use in that sentence would be the subject pronoun I.
We can fix this, though. What’s a movie with-out a snack, am I right? Let’s say that when John and I go to the movies, we buy ourselves some popcorn. Now John and I are the subjects of the sentence, as we should be, but we’re also the indirect objects – the people receiving the action, which, in this case, is the purchase of delicious popcorn.
To wrap it all up, if you think myself might be appropriate, take a look back at the rest of the sentence. Have you already used the word I? Are you talking about or trying to emphasize something you’re doing? If so, myself could be called for. If not, the word you’re probably looking for is me.
Talking about yourself

Music – Billboard magazine, the publication that keeps the official metrics of music popularity, announced that the 500 million copies of U2’s “Songs of Innocence” that were downloaded to Apple’s iTunes music software users would not enter into its equation for its sales charts. U2 has previously claimed the top spot on the Billboard 200 album chart seven times, including its two most recent albums, “How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb” in 2004 and “No Line on the Horizon” in 2009.

Commentary by Vicky Earley
“The first rule of decoration is that you can break almost all the other rules.” – Billy Baldwin
Excuse me Billy but it de-pends which rules you want to break! If you want to
take Billy’s advice and eschew decorating rules, make sure you are throwing out the arbitrary ones such as “don’t mix warm color with cool” or “use light colors in small spaces” I say have at it. Break away! Get wild and crazy!
There is, however, a class of rules that can bend only so far before they snap. These are design principles and they are based more on geometry than on opinion.
When these “rules” are ignored, you will most likely feel that there is something amiss with a space. You might not be able to verbalize just what the problem is, but it is almost certain that a rule has been broken.
The basic design principles are balance, focus, harmony, proportion, and rhythm.
Balance: You are more likely to feel if a room is unbalanced than see it. Balance simply re-fers to the visual equilibrium of a room that is achieved by how objects are placed according to visual weight.
Shape, color and texture all help to determine their visual weight.
Focus: This refers to the direction the eye travels and remains as it first enters a space. More
Know the rules before you break them

than one focal point in a room makes it quite un-comfortable as there is no place for the eye to rest.
Harmony: This is achieved when the ele-ments of a room work together to form a visually pleasing combination. Harmony in interior design is achieved by having a connection. This unity can be defined as a design thread that tells a story from one element to another.
Proportion: Ah, Proportion and his best friend Scale . This is something the real estate agent fails to mention when showing you a home with a two story great room. Technically, proportion refers to how the elements within an object re-late to the object as a whole while scale relates to the size of an object compared to the space in which it is located.
Rhythm: The rhythm of a room controls the visual flow around a room. Rhythm allows the eyes to move around from one object to another and creates a harmonious atmosphere in a room
A well designed home that incorporates these elements is not unlike the paints that an artist uses in the creation of a breathtaking work of art … each color and brushstroke plays off anoth-er color within the guidelines of design principle. The result is a warm, inviting space for living.

INSIDE & OUT
Commentary by Larry Greene
EXISTING BASEMENT: This home is located in the Brittany Chase subdivision in Zionsville. After
moving from sunny Florida to be closer to family, the mother needed her own space
in her daughter’s home. The main goal of the project was to create a living space separate from the rest of the house to give her complete independence and privacy.
KITCHEN & LAUNDRY AREA: The unfinished storage area provided room for a full kitchen & laundry room. The kitchen features two-toned cabinetry, LED under-cabinet lighting, a marble subway tile backsplash, high-end appliances and quartz countertops. Using the condensed space, upper cabinets were eliminated to save space for an art collection and an antique armoire served as a food pantry. The laundry room fea-tures cabinets painted Ocean Blue as a reminder of the Florida beaches.
COZY LIVING AREA: “Even though there are many windows, it still felt like a basement. I really wanted the space to feel cozy, not like I’m living in a basement.” To accomplish this, horizontal ceiling beams were installed. A gas fireplace gives the room a warm feel. “Golden White Quartzite” was used for the fireplace stone surround and hearth.

top priority with the design of the master bath-room was to ensure the bathroom fixtures were simple and easy-to-clean. “I knew I wanted a tile floor so I selected large 12 inch by 24 inch tiles to minimize the amount of grout to clean.” Comple-menting the floor tile, simple 3 inch x 6 inch white subway tiles were selected for the shower walls. Chrome fixtures including the plumbing fixtures, shower door and van-ity lighting gave the room a cohesive and classic look. Chan-deliers were hung in both the bedroom and closet giving the spaces an elegant and timeless flair.
RESULT: “Everything came together just as I imagined it. I love the coziness of my new home and the indepen-dence I feel even though I am steps away from family.”
